Suppose one has a supposed 24v alt installed on a 12v system, with an old
Ford type Cessna 12v regulator. The voltmeter in the plane (several of
them)
never indicates over 14 or so volts. Will a regulator limit the voltage
delivered to no more than 12-14v or ? What would supposedly happen if a
REAL
24v alt were installed-I'm thinking all sorts of mayhem-battery, bulbs,
kaput 12v radios, etc? We are talking 60A unit here. Inquiring minds want
to
know....(I think I have a mislabeled OEM unit!)

Marc,
one of the more popular small alternators (B&C-20)  for the continental uses
the same alternator for both 14 and 28v and only the regulator is changed.
